       9. The waste disposal apparatus of  claim 8  wherein the entire back of each of the plurality of flaps is curved and is secured to the generally circular ring gear in a flush manner. 
     
     
       10. The waste disposal apparatus of  claim 8  further comprising:
 a pivot pin secured to the back of each of the plurality of flaps wherein the pivot pin is connected to the generally circular ring gear and wherein the pivot pin allows the plurality of flaps to rotate upward and downward. 
 
     
     
       11. The waste disposal apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 an LED light indicator connected to the apparatus wherein the LED light indicates if the apparatus is on or off. 
 
     
     
       12. The waste disposal apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the generally circular, cone-shaped funnel remains stationary as the generally circular ring gear and plurality of flaps rotates. 
     
     
       13. A waste disposal apparatus for a toilet comprising:
 a housing having top, a bottom, a front, a back, a first side, a second side and a generally circular opening wherein the generally circular opening allows the passage of items from the top of the housing out through the bottom of the housing; 
 a generally circular gear ring surrounding the opening wherein the generally circular gear ring rotates in a clockwise or counterclockwise manner and wherein the generally circular gear ring is secured above an outlet opening of a toilet; 
 a plurality of flaps secured within the interior of the generally circular gear ring wherein the plurality of flaps rotate clockwise or counterclockwise along with the generally circular gear ring and wherein the plurality of flaps contact waste passing through the opening and breaks down the waste into smaller units; 
 a generally circular, cone-shaped funnel surrounding the generally circular gear ring wherein the generally circular, cone-shaped funnel directs waste through the generally circular gear ring of the housing by gravity; and 
 wherein the generally circular, cone-shaped funnel is flexible so as to adopt a similar shape as an interior bowl of the toilet. 
 
     
     
       14. A waste disposal apparatus for a toilet comprising:
 a housing having top, a bottom, a front, a back, a first side, a second side and a generally circular opening wherein the generally circular opening allows the passage of items from the top of the housing out through the bottom of the housing;
